Sinian AI runs 1,000+ autonomous heavy-load robots, pivots to world-model PhysicalAI
创业邦 · wechat · 2026-09-09
Six-year-old autonomous driving startup Sinian AI has deployed over 1,000 unmanned transport robots across ports, rail yards, chemical and logistics sites, accumulating petabytes of multimodal data. It is upgrading to VLA and world models, breaking recurring tasks into reusable "atomic operations" and cutting delivery times. Yueda Capital invested strategically in September, and founder He Bei notes closed-scenario L4 is maturing while open-road and fine manipulation are earlier-stage; 2025 customer count equals the previous five years combined.
